We always choose bagless, then we meet them at the kitchen door with a couple of ikea sacks. The shopping gets transferred to those, and the driver goes on his merry way.
I've just started using Ocado again after a break. The order came with a bag charge for the number of bags they were going to use, but as I used my own bags instead, it was refunded from the shopping total the same day and before the bill was taken from my card.
